UNSPSC 50484619: Red boston lettuce purees

The variety of lettuce known as red boston lettuce which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50484619 Red boston lettuce purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure red boston lettuce purees as specialty food ingredients for institutional food service, though recent opportunities show this code tagged to broader food procurement activities spanning fresh produce, canned goods, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services operations. The issuing bodies are mixed — school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia) dominate recent activity, alongside state departments and agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia, State of Illinois, and Ben Hill County Schools. School nutrition programs account for the majority of visible solicitation volume under this code in the recent-opportunities window.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, where school districts have posted multiple food procurement RFPs and ITBs since late January 2026, followed by secondary activity in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Oregon (ODOC), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Illinois (State Veterans Home). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 response date and a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Fairfax County Public Schools issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 with sealed bids due April 27, 2026, requiring a minimum of 76 items bid from the School Delivery section; and the Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. The code shows heavy recent activity but appears misaligned with its nominal scope — opportunities are tagged to comprehensive institutional food service rather than red boston lettuce purees specifically, suggesting either broad tagging of school nutrition line items or code assignment drift in state and local procurement systems.
